+### Passing Arguments to the AppHost
+
+Use the `Args` property to pass command-line arguments to the AppHost entry point. These are forwarded to `DistributedApplicationTestingBuilder.CreateAsync` and are available in the AppHost's `builder.Configuration` during builder creation — before `ConfigureBuilder` is called:
+
+```csharp
+public class AppFixture : AspireFixture<Projects.MyAppHost>
+{
+    protected override string[] Args =>
+    [
+        "--UseVolumes=false",
+        "--UsePostgresWithPersistentLifetime=false",
+        "--UsePostgresWithSessionLifetime=true"
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+:::tip When to use `Args` vs `ConfigureBuilder`
+- Use **`Args`** for configuration values that the AppHost reads during `CreateBuilder(args)` — these must be set *before* the builder is created.
+- Use **`ConfigureBuilder`** for service registrations, HTTP client defaults, and other configuration that can be applied *after* the builder is created.

 ## Watching Resource Logs
 
 Use `WatchResourceLogs()` inside a test to stream a resource's container logs to the test output. This is invaluable for debugging failures:
